Natural or Organic Skin Care Products
Posted on | April 21, 2009 | 10 Comments
Today more and more people become aware of the benefits nature can offer and are seeking environmentally friendly products in their homes and in your skin care regimen. It is therefore not surprising that the skin care manufacturers catering to this wave of eco-friendly consumer products and labeling, physical and / or organic.
The words natural and organic are implied interpreted as the same meaning, however, there are distinct differences between the two.
Natural or Organic Skin Care
Physical – this means that one, several or all of the ingredients are unprocessed and comes from nature, such as fruit, vitamins and minerals, for example, Aloe Vera is a natural product, thus a product with Aloe Vera can be identified naturally . However, this does not mean the natural ingredient is grown organically and it does not mean that the skin care product is not mixed with synthetic / chemical constituents. The term natural is not regulated in the skin care industry, so naturally it is free and widely used in marketing ploys.
Organic – means that no chemicals and pesticides are used during the development of different plants and herbs. In addition, the process to extract oils from other plants does not use any type of chemical processing. If a product with Aloe Vera in it is labeled organic, then Aloe should be grown without any pesticides and no chemical treatment would be to extract oils from plants. Thus the product can be labeled organic.
A good analogy would be the skin care product that lists papaya and Aloe Vera. If papaya and Aloe Vera have been held with all kinds of pesticides, then the skin care product may be labeled organic, however, it can be identified and all natural can still contain harmful chemicals.
Furthermore, just because a product is labeled natural or organic does not mean that you do not have an allergic reaction. A product made with beeswax and honey are not recommended for people who are allergic to bees, almond oil product will be recommended for people with nut allergies. A skin test is recommended that a new skin care product whether it be synthetic, natural or organic product.
Botanical word is used in many products for skin care too. This means that the product contains ingredients which are derived from plants and / or trees, such as Aloe Vera and coconut. Again, botanical products may be labeled as natural, but does not mean they are organic.
Currently there are no legal conditions for organic and / or natural personal care products sold in the United States. Therefore, skin care manufacturers have the right to make any claims that their products are pure, natural and / or organic. And in this case is Clairol herbal essences, which give consumers the “organic experience”, but there is not much for this product which is herbal and organic as it contains more than a dozen synthetic petrochemicals and has moderate toxicity to customers. Visit the campaign for safe cosmetics on the web to find more products for your skin care.
Skin care product industry is a one billion dollar business and the claims for their products, may or may not be true. Furthermore, if you are liable for the top dollar cosmetics to read pure, natural or organic, read the label, research and decide for yourself. The most popular ingredient on the label will be at the top of the ingredient list and at least the substance at the bottom. So, if your natural or organic ingredient in the bottom of the list, chances are the ingredient in the amount of minutes and the product has no significant value for your skin.
As a personal note, I would like to state that I believe in the concept of natural and organic products for skin care, although if I buy natural or organic products expect them to be safe with only natural or synthetic chemicals truly organic. There are so many chemicals in products for skin care that can be harmful to your health and these chemicals are so harmful to our environment, so read labels and not the research to find some “green” products in use.

I have troubles differentiating Natural and Organic. I think these two are together. Most people prefer these types of alternatives for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
